We are close to signing some-one from the NRL by all accounts

Is anybody running good lines for him?

I accept he isn't the sole blame for his poor performance, but top quality stand-offs don't catch the ball, look around like a rabbit caught in headlights...before easily being tackled, you have to have some idea of what you are going to do before you catch the pass.

Horne was poor today , to slow with ball in hand . His passing and quick thinking is not good enough for a top 4 team . Efforts there but sometimes that's not enough . Be happy to have him as back up next season .

Obviously I haven't see the performance today but if I were expecting a runner and I caught the ball went to pass and he wasn't their the rest could easily be what happened.

I'm in full agreement. Have loved watching Richard play for us but IMO we need to move on and a new no.6 is needed. I'm happy to have Horney as part of the squad but his days of a starting place in the team should becoming to an end.

Think everyone knows this including Peter Gentle.

I very much doubt that Horne will be at 6 next season.

Agree with this. Seymour does OK for me but needs a decent foil and I don't think R Horne is it.

Someone in our block was moaning that Seymour is the worst scrum half we've had since some bloke I'd never heard of (ie 20 + years ago). Is he really worse than Thorman?

Horne was poor today and basically confirmed what plenty of people have thought for a long time, he is done as a HB.

People clearly watch a different game to me, Seymour was far from his best today, but his kicking was good IMO, he repeatedly forced drop-outs from Saints with good kicks. He can't do everything on his own and not having a good partner in the halves limits his effectiveness.

Thought seymour was decent today

Seymour is a good player, not great but good.

Certainly our best halfback signing for many years.

Needs a partner.

I agree, however with the right 6 he could be a great player imo.

I'm not even that sure about Horne for FB.

I'd try and sign a Fb as well (Kearney) and use Horne as a utility back.

I hope Gentle sees this as well and goes all out to sign a new 6 for the 2013 season. Horne has been way off the pace for a good three or more seasons now and he's become slow and stale at stand off. I don't think Seymour Can operate to his full potential without a quick thinking pacey 6 alongside him.
